Over fithteen years his son inlaw and daughter also park there car and van there they stay in flat down the road got my title deeds it says it my land and no commercial vans are to be parked there
Give you give permission for this, or was it a case of you just not realising it was your land?

Sorry can confirm do I have any rights
Sorry my question above should have been "Did you give permission for this, or was it a case of you just not realising it was your land?". I can only advise you when I have all of the facts. Did you say 15 years ago that he could park there, or has he/they just always done it for the past 15 years?

I wasn't sure if it was my land but have title deeds now and it is I didn't mind him parking there but he told me he can claim the the land cause he has parked there
And, final question, is this land something anyone can access, or just your neighbour? what i mean by this is does it appear, to someone who doesn't know the actual legal boundaries, part of your neighbours land and contained by a fence or something similar, or is it open to anyone to walk/park on it?

His property is flat above shop his door is at rear of property of which he has right of access on foot path rest of area is open Tarmac area with wall boundary no fence
Ok thanks. in that case i don't think he can make a claim to the land, and you can give him notice to leave. For someone to claim a "right" to park they will have had to utilise this right for over 20 years. For them to claim the actual land as their it is 12 years, but they have to incorporate the land into their own to the exclusion as others (i.e by putting a fence around it)
